Delphi (PHP) Hosting
Hosting has often been an issue for me. Reliability and price/performance are obvious factors in choosing the best host. Additonally, because a lot of our TCP Server work is written using Delphi, we are always on the lookout for a good Windows host. These have been difficult to find withouth paying lots of dollars. In fact, we write a lot of server code in PHP which allows us to take advantage of cheaper Linux-based hosting. For the past two years we have hosted our Linux servers with a company in the US called WiredTree (www.wiredtree.com). I can recommend them very highly. Their service, support and price is unmatched. Check them out.
Windows hosting has been a little less than reliable. However, I discovered a company recently who look like they might bake the grade: LiquidWeb (https://www.liquidweb.com/). We’ll be trying them out soon for our Windoes server hosting and I’ll report back with details.
